'71 Interior Color
« on: June 12, 2014, 07:28:28 PM »
My '71 has the blue interior but I have no idea what the GM color name was (i.e., Dark Blue, Medium Blue, Light Blue, Sienna, etc.).  Anyone know the correct GM name for the shade and a recommended SEM paint to match?  This would be for the metal headliner trim moldings vice upholstery if that makes any difference.  Thanks!

Thanks Macdave.  I have seen some replacement upholstery on websites labeled "Dark Blue" so thought that might be the case but some of the Pontiac docs I've seen just call it "blue" which implies there might be more shades than just the one available in 71.   Also, when I was a kid my Dad had a '64 Grand Prix with a dark blue interior but I remember it as much, much darker but that was in 1964 of course.
